The Latest Trends In Business Telephone Systems

By Deanne Shepard


Nobody will argue the fact that effective communication is the core success factor of every organization. Telegraphic and telephonic communication systems have been around for many decades, but as the world becomes more competitive and as technology advances in leaps and bounds traditional business telephone systems simply do not satisfy the needs of enterprise. Companies in Vancouver BC want cost effective communication and they want to be in touch at all times.

In recent years, Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP for short, has steadily become one of the fastest growing communications fields in the world. Clients love the flexibility and reliability of internet based communication. They enjoy advanced features and they do not have to cope with the shortcoming of conventional communication networks. Internet based systems are affordable and easy to maintain yet they offer companies unparalleled efficiency.

Traditional telephony does not offer a lot of flexibility. Once installed, it is very difficult to make changes, to upgrade or to even downgrade. Internet based arrangements, however, are highly flexible. The entire network is managed from a single central installation, regardless of how many remote sites and internal divisions there are. Clients can add or remove new sites and users at will.

Internet telephony offers users and clients the ability to make and receive calls from just about anywhere. This means that they are not chained to a desk or a specific location. In addition, users can use a wide variety of devices such as smart phones or tablets to access and use the network. The freedom that these features offer users allows them to be more productive and to be able to communicate on the move.

Companies are delighted by the huge savings that internet networks offer them. It is not uncommon to cut the bill by half. This massive savings are made even more attractive when one takes into account that internet based communication do not require a telephone operator at every location. There is just one system and in this way further significant savings are achieved.

Clients can save even more money because their maintenance bills will shrink significantly. Firstly, there are not a host of installations, one at each location, to be services, repaired and maintained. There is only one installation. Then there is the fact that the software driving the network is hosted on the hardware owned by the service provider. They are therefore responsible for central maintenance and ongoing upgrades.

Users of VoIP continue to enjoy all the features that they had when they used PABX systems. They still have call forwarding and conference call facilities, for example. However, with VoIP they also have time saving features such as voice to email, fax to email, unlimited call forwarding, even to remote locations and intercom facilities. Users or managers can also access a wide variety of reports that can help them improve efficiency.

Efficient communication is without a doubt one of the most important factors that can determine the success of failure of any enterprise. VoIP offers clients not only efficient communication, but also substantial savings. It is feature rich and there is no reason to doubt that it will continue to become the preferred communication method.
